Software Product Development

Tarun Upadhyay   //  Tarun is still just flatly amazed by the power of the Internet, its ability to level the field and help the little guy compete with the biggest organizations.

Those little guy success stories are what drags him to work every morning and he lives a small part of that little guy's dream working for hCentive.

Prior to co-founding hCentive, Tarun served as a co-founder and CTO for GlobalLogic - an outsourcing service provider for large, complex products and software - which grew from 0 to 400 engineers while he was the CTO.

Prior to Globallogic, he was co-founder and CTO of Pinelabs - an India-based provider of Loyalty and Payment solutions using Smart Cards. While Tarun was CTO, Pinelabs grew from a drawing board idea to a suite of successful products running at many fortune 500 companies handling millions of credit card transactions per day.

Tarun holds an M.S in Mathematics and Computer Applications from Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, India.

Getting office work done on Mac

Here is the list of software I use to make my work  life easier when I moved from Windows+Blackberry to Mac+iPhone.
  • Microsoft Office for Mac
    • There is really no alternative to Microsoft Entourage (part of Microsoft Office for Mac) if one uses MS Exchange-shared calendars.
    • If the office workflow requires documents formatted in Microsoft Excel, Powerpoint or Word, then its best to buy this to ensure full formatting compatibility
  • Evernote for Mac and Evernote for iPhone
    • A very good note taking application for your Mac and iPhone.
    • Data sync automatically between the two over  the air.
    • Can also sync variety of files formats, images taken from camera (capture whiteboards and wine labels ) and web links.
  • OmniFocus for Mac and OmniFocus for iPhone
    • A solid task-management tool based on GTD methodology
    • Has a sharp learning curve for a GTD newbie but is very powerful when mastered
    • iPhone and Mac versions sync automatically over the air.
  • Parallels Desktop
    • Virtualization Software to run Windows on Mac
    • Not required for most cases unless there is that one windows app that you need to run.
